Enjoyed the display of Bobb and Lewis. Worked so well. Lewis was combative and resolute with his defending and passing. His runs into space, really good.

Bobb is going to be something else. I know some have said he faded or did nothing for much of the second before his assist but the play kept going to the left, it was inevitable.

Nonetheless, it was nice to watch him hold his own. He is most definitely ready for more starts. Blues have to be patient.

For the established lads, no surprise there’s rust. They got a run out. No one was injured. Happy days.

On McAtee and O’Reilly. They had flashes of some good things and some not so good but Pep will help them out with those. Kova was brilliant. I can see Bernie playing next to him. He’s safer than Nunes, who lost the ball quite a lot.

Overall, it was a good day out especially as those lot lost. May be a slow start, may not but blues should have patience this year. Plenty are still undercooked.

Based on today, there’s no way O’Reilly will ever be seen again. Was a universe away from the required level.

ESPN FC…United should have won!

Ten Hag: “Along with Real Madrid, we are the best team in the world at playing Man City!”

Bless their hearts!

Akanji: “First Gold Medal of the season!”

Haha! Classic, coming during the Olympics!!

Tent peg forgot to add…‘and Crystal Palace’…

cuntnacho makes Tevez look like brad pritt

My eldest asked if he'd had work done, certainly looks cobbled together from off ends. Looks like he should be on Housewives of Essex, not a football pitch.

Yeo; he's a long way behind Oscar and Rico.

I don’t know if he’ll ever be seen again but he has a lot to work on if Pep really wants him playing as a DM. He’s played in forward positions for all of his youth football.

Bad injuries last season haven’t helped as he still doesn’t look as comfortable prior to them but at least he got a taste of things during preseason and today. It’ll give him insight as to how far he is and what he needs to do.

Very good. Can't beat a bit of Mungo Jerry.

You have to feel for Ally McCoist.

Yes, I feel total antipathy towards him.

Cobbled together from off ends, i'm fuckin having that, quality pal!

Rags one nil up, itv telling us this is a statement, nited back. City win, its only a glorified friendly, Ten Hairs will take alot from it, nited a back. Utter nonsense. Then McCoist going on about fernandez and these amazing passes to nobody, i muted the coverage it was truly awful.

To hear their commentary go from the most exiting game to the most boring game was music to my ears in the end.

What a cnut that Rory Jennings is, his rag and dipper up and under, route one, kick and rush football has just been stuffed by City's under eighteen team.
